How has this kit impacted on your class culture? I think the children have told their parents about our findings. This will have an impact at home and they will probably collect rubbish and take it home when they visit beaches over the summer. They like informing others of facts and now have evidence fr
In what ways did this kit impact student attitude towards environmentalism? Children were surprised at the amount of rubbish found. They thought their beach looked quite clean on their initial survey. They were surprised at the variety of rubbish found, also what had obviously washed up and been in the sea for some time.

We used the School Kit with the School Council and they were fascinated with the analysis of the rubbish and the story the rubbish might have told due to the type of rubbish we found. They were equally fascinated by the creatures that had made adaptations to live amongst long standing rubbish, like old clay pipes. They have continued the crusade by spreading the message at school by creating posters.

What an amazing resource, we were very excited about this kit and planned a trip to the beach. Excitement levels were high we had researched and done all the ways we could help to keep the beach clean. However the trip was cancelled due to the weather and we had to send home the gloves for children to use and take independently. I am yet to receive any photos of the children cleaning up the beaches.

We have been eagerly awaiting our class trip to Long Bay Beach to look at the rock pools. My students have become eco warriors who are very keen to do a beach clean up to keep our oceans clean and to protect all our sea creatures. Although we have not been on the trip yet my students are cleaning up around the school and are very aware of any rubbish they find could possibly end up in our oceans.
